New Year’s Eve Denver: The five biggest bluegrass concerts with Yonder Mountain String Band, the Railsplitters

Tis the season for many things, but one tradition that hasn’t caught on yet en masse is the holiday bluegrass stomp-down. Both late December and bluegrass shows involve stills upon stills of hastily bought alcohol and cathartic reunions, so really, you could argue the combination only makes sense.

If you happen to be in Colorado post-apocalypse/pre-2013, start the tradition off this New Year’s season with any of these hand-picked string groups playing nearby.
